After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

There are only so many places in the capital, and each carrot occupies a good spot. If your carrot occupies a good spot, where will my carrots be put?

Without solid connections, there is no way to get promoted. He doesn't even know where to go with the Duke, let alone rely on Xia. If you want him to be like that unlucky Chen family bastard, running to a remote corner to be a small military officer, he will be even more frustrated!

He had spent so many years in the Wucheng Army, eating and waiting for death, and thought that this was probably the end of his life. But who knew that his Xia family's ancestral tomb would start to smoke again, and he was lucky enough to get in touch with Princess Rongchang.

When offering sacrifices to ancestors this year, be sure to burn more paper money for them. Burn it vigorously!

Xia Yijie happily selected the soldiers and generals and went to Yingzhou Prefecture without stopping. He slapped the official document on the face of the Yingzhou prefect, and in the other party's regretful and helpless state, he neatly took out the braised pork that had been tortured to death from the prison, oh no, Zhu Shijie.

Xia Yijie, who had already found out the other party's identity, smiled particularly warmly at this Jiedi, with whom he had a very strong connection.

As expected, you all are talented people who can be recognized by Her Royal Highness the Princess!

Who could have thought that this unfortunate man, who was kicked out of the Zhu family for marrying a divorced woman, could actually catch the eye of Her Royal Highness the Princess in this desolate place?

What does that old saying say?

Oh, even a famine will never kill a craftsman!

My ancestors never deceived me.

How good a cook must this Zhu family disciple be to have Her Royal Highness the Princess support him like this?

Tut tut...

No matter what he thought in his mind, Deputy Commander Xia, who was a good person and an official, knew that he had to establish a good relationship with this brother Jie.

So after sending the man to the clinic and treating him almost completely, he took him back to Beijing. He took care of Zhu Shijie along the way, and was so considerate and gentle.

The honest man was so scared that he was trembling all over. He wrapped himself tightly all the way in such a hot day. He slept with half his eyes open at night, fearing that someone would take advantage of him.

Although I, Old Zhu, do look okay, I'm really not good at that.

I just love my wife, really!

He arrived in the capital trembling with fear and was politely escorted to Princess Rongchang's mansion, where he was finally reunited with his long-cherished wife and children.

He knelt in front of Chu Daidai and cried so miserably!

"Your Highness, I bow to you and thank you for your great kindness! Thank you for saving my wife and children. I, Zhu Shijie, will be sold to you for the rest of my life. I will be loyal to you in the future and will never have second thoughts!"

"Really?!"

Zhu Shijie knocked his head down with a loud bang.

"If you break this oath, I will die a miserable death in the future!"

The surprise came too suddenly. Chu Daidai stood up from her chair with joy, her eyes twinkling. But she didn't look at Hong Shao Rou, but at Hong Shao Rou's wife.

"Manager Wan, have you decided to sell the braised pork, no, have you decided to sell Chef Zhu to me?"

Thinking of how An An called the braised pork, Chu Daidai immediately changed his words to show that he really liked him.

"You have really thought about letting Chef Zhu stay, right? You will definitely not change it, right?"

Nod your head quickly, nod your head quickly, from now on, Master Chu can eat a bowl of braised pork every day! Just thinking about it makes me feel so happy that I want to faint.

Wan Yuzhi, who had already discussed it with her husband, nodded vigorously and knelt down with her big belly to acknowledge her master.

"I am Wan Yuzhi, your servant, and I am here to see my master!"

This person is also a ruthless person, who can take it or leave it. After all, she is a noble lady from an aristocratic family, and she is very aware of the current situation. When she was exiled, she was resolute and decisive when she escaped from Jingzhou Prefecture. Now that she has lowered herself to become a slave, she is also very decisive.

"Don't kneel, stand up!"

Chu Chi bent down and stretched out his hand, pulling the two men up one by one, his happy little face full of smiles.

"I don't want to be your master, I just want to be your guest. Chef Zhu, I'm really happy that you're willing to stay and cook for us! Shopkeeper Wan, don't be afraid, I will definitely protect you in the future."

Wan Yuzhi winked at her husband, and Zhu Shijie took a step back obediently, with a very respectful attitude. Of course, Wan Yuzhi herself was also very respectful, bowing in a standard etiquette.

The couple thanked him at the same time.

"Thank you for your protection, Master."

"Thank you for your protection, Master."

"No thanks, no thanks. We are all friends. It's easy to be familiar with each other, right? Don't worry about the braised pork. I'll take care of your family's affairs!"

Mr. Chu was so happy that he patted his chest.

"My father told you two to find a chance to file a complaint with the Ministry of Justice. Then someone will take care of this matter. Don't worry, I'll take you there tomorrow. We have someone above us!"

"Yes, I will follow the master's arrangements."

They were both very satisfied with the development of the situation. The Zhu couple found a backer to protect them from the wind and rain, and Chu Daidai served the meat bowl she had been dreaming about.

Everything is so perfect.

Only one unlucky guy needs to be thrown out in the middle, well, that's the person above Chu Daidai, her miserable uncle Chu Zhankui.

Old Master Chu, who had returned to the position of Minister of Justice, sighed for the umpteenth time as he looked at his lively niece in front of him.

"I will definitely make a fair and impartial judgment on this case and will never let the lawbreakers go. But Your Highness, can we have a discussion? In the future, please don't talk nonsense outside and tarnish my reputation, okay?"

Chu Chi didn't understand what her uncle said. She scratched her head in confusion and asked honestly if she didn't understand.

"Uncle, when did I say anything nonsense? What do you mean by smearing your reputation? What did I do?"

After looking at the victim couple who were kneeling down to submit a complaint, Minister Chu flipped through the complaint in his hand and directly ordered his men to go to the Wu and Fang families to arrest the people.

After giving all the instructions, he turned around and took care of his niece who was sitting next to him.

"Are you telling everyone that you have connections in the Ministry of Justice?"

"Yes!"

As for the fact that he has someone above him, the honest child never hides it, and the other person nods openly. He counts on his fingers one by one, listing all the acquaintances he has a good relationship with and what positions they are in.

"Not only in the Ministry of Justice, we also have people in the Imperial Palace! The Imperial Guards and the Five Cities Military Department, the Ministry of Personnel and the Hongwen Academy, and..."

"Shut up!"

Frightened by the naughty child's suicidal zeal, Minister Chu's fingers trembled. For a moment, he forgot the difference between the emperor and his subjects, and habitually shouted at her to shut up.

He turned his head to look at the left and right assistant ministers sitting next to him, and these two smart guys quickly stood up and left.
